BEIJING, Feb. 24 (Xinhuanet) -- Eddie Murphy and
Lindsay Lohan were crowned the worst actor and actress of 2007 at the 28th
Golden Raspberry Awards on Saturday.
The annual honors were announced by the Golden
Raspberry Foundation. Murphy and Lohan won three gold spray-painted Razzie
trophies worth 4.89 U.S. dollars respectively and neither showed up to accept
the spoof Oscars.
Murphy, who had earned an Oscar nomination for his
dramatic musical "Dreamgirls" in 2006 and was one of the nominees at the Academy
Awards on Sunday for his role in "I Am Legend," won the Worst Actor, the Worst
Supporting Actress, and the Worst Supporting Actor awards for several parts in
the comedy "Norbit," setting a record by winning three of the four worst acting
categories.
Unlike the other Razzie victims, the movie "Norbit"
still made success at box offices, taking of 158 million dollars
worldwide.
Lohan won two Worst Actress awards and the Worst
Screen Couple award for playing twins in the thriller "I Know Who Killed Me," a
film that was named worst of the year.
"I Know Who Killed Me" won eight of nine Raspberries,
breaking a record of seven wins previously held by "Showgirls" (1996) and
"Battlefield Earth" (2001).
Despite the "fierce" competition between Murphy and Lohan,
the Cuba Gooding Jr. comedy “Daddy Day Camp” managed to secure the Razzie for
Worst Prequel or Sequel.
